My neighborhood is off Callaway Rd. Our power went off at exactly 4:16am Thurs. I began calling Coweta-Fayette immediately. At this time nobody is there only an answering machine. It was 8am when I finally got a live person. He was nice and assured me the power would come on Thurs. sometime.

And now the fun begins for NFL fans.

The first round of the NFL playoffs starts tomorrow and Sunday, with four games scheduled: Washington at Seattle, Jacksonville at Pittsburgh, New York Giants at Tampa Bay and Tennessee at San Diego.

... Hasn't even been on the clock for Tyrone yet and he's already set them up for an open meetings lawsuit.

That's got to be a record, even for him!

The hutchette made the Ga State Honor band.

How many Citizen bloggers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Four.

One to actually change the light bulb, and three to write emails to Cal Beverly complaining that someone used the word "screw" in a post.

Today I was the recipient of a random act of kindness. While in the post office - and a bit hassled because of an inordinate amount of packages to mail - I inadvertently left my credit card in the lobby when I went to stand in line to mail my packages and buy stamps. A gentleman came in and gave a 'credit card' to a lady behind the counter. I checked my wallet - and sure enough - my credit card was missing. I stood in line to retrieve my credit card - and fortunately the man who turned it in was still in the lobby. I was able to thank him! What a great way to start the New Year!! I'm so glad we decided to settle here.

O JESUS! meek and humble of heart,
Hear me.

FROM the desire of being esteemed,
Deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being loved,

I may be relatively new to these parts and this area of ATL., but what is the deal with the guns, LOUD, dynamite like fireworks and in some areas (U.C., Fairburn) machine gun fire??? on New Year's EVE? I can understand the fireworks somewhat, but it was a little ridonculous this year.

Can someone who knows what he was trying to say (other than a deserved congratulations to the troops for obeying orders)about what he called "Al Quieda-Iraq?"

I just thought of something. Who would make Limbaugh the most money as president?

Well, obviously, Clinton.

I attended a concert at the Fox on New Year's Eve. It was a great concert overall (good music, no violence), but the one thing I couldn't help but notice was the man next to me wavering and stepping on my toes.

Now, please don't some of you mix Pakistan up with Iraq, as you do Afghanistan and Iraq!

We have given Pakistan about 8 billion dollars in mostly military aid recently, although the administration didn't call it all military aid when they submitted it for a vote.

Here’s wishing everyone a safe and prosperous 2008. Keep off the roads, the mayor and his crowd will be knocking them

I am breaking for awhile in order to wait until next year.
Enough for 2007.
I have done my very best to get citizens interested in considering things they could change where necessary by speaking out after studying the problems.

Never have I heard such quietness by a political party about their very own President and crew!
They, like the rest of us, are simply flabbergasted by such incompetent actions and inactions! Bush himself is leaving the USA mostly in his swan song: middle east in January, Asia in February, etc.

Take a look at the Tyrone Town Council Agenda for Jan 3. Now we know what it takes to get Cal's endorsement (item 15)

I her on the news that a place called Pakistan has weapons of mass destruction! No one seems to know who in Pakistan is in charge of those weapons now that the President, a sherif, I think, set the army free from his generalship.

All those folks now asking for civility ere preaching just the opposite when Bill Clinton was President.
Limbaugh counted down the days to the USAs salvation with Bush, jr, Who he said had gravitas.

Nine out of ten of what we call new ideas are simply old mistakes. The Catholic Church has for one of her chief duties that of preventing people from making those old mistakes; from making them over and over again, as people will always do if they are left to themselves.

The regular season in the NFL is set to conclude, and that means all the teams staying home for the playoffs are already looking ahead to the NFL draft.

At your suggestion, I read Kessler's book, "The Terrorist Watch". Kessler is obviously a believer in the Bush administration. (He reverently calls Bush the CEO of the War on Terror.) Most of what this administration has 'accomplished' is under investigation. History will be the judge of the Bush administration. 70% of the American public today does not agree with Kessler's assessment of this administration. Kessler reports what other authors have reported regarding the CIA and FBI. As the CEO of the War on Terror, Bush's record is questionable. The book is an interesting read. Americans need to get beyond partisan loyalty and politics - and elect leaders who are knowledgeable, honest, and respected. . . REGARDLESS OF THEIR PARTY AFFIILIATION.

What stories would you like to see in the Citizen?

Off the top of my head:
1. 2007 might be called "The Year of The Tazer"...what are the policies of the PTC police and the Sheriff's dept regarding the use of tasers? Do they even use them here?

I was disturbed by the news of Benazir Bhutto's assassination
this morning. When our major ally in the war on terror can't keep it's presidential candidates safe, you have to wonder about the security of their nukes. This doesn't bode well for Pakistani Democracy.

Four Hundred Twenty Two (422) people signed the petition to replace Barry Amos and Valerie Fowler-Caldwell as Town Mgrs. It is being delivered to the new Town Council this week.

Everything in the world is wonderful right now, If it were going any better, I wouldn't be able to stand it!
The country is out of debt, most families owe nothing except a little on their homes, everyone goes to the local Baptist church three times a week, and all is well.

It seems that the Polish soldiers aren't allowed to fight at night and Polish holidays, and require sausage three times a day, with cabbage.
